Synopsis: Denmark, 1961. Bjørn, a middle-class boy in his early teens, wants to be accepted by Steen, a bullying peer of his with wealthy but freezingly cold parents. Bjørn's other good friend is Mulle, a cheerful and more childish working-class boy. All three seem friends at first, but gradually Steen starts pushing Mulle away while pulling the impressionable Bjørn with him towards more and more tragic violent behavior, fueled by frustration over his loveless home life.

to hear about penises and erections.

Even the teacher has had an erection.

Right, Mr. Christensen?

Who's in charge of cleaning up?

- Mulle and me.

- Okay.

You two clean and lock up.

Bjrn!

You ought to choose your friends with greater care.

Honestly, he's not a friend for you,

if you want the truth.

Think it over, Bjrn.

You wanna see my new radio?

You got a new one?

Spoiled kid.

We can play as loud as we want.

Nobody's home.

Nobody?

Uh, I've got... a game at the soccer club.

When did you start playing there?

A long time ago.

We're playing against B93.

This afternoon?

- Gee, I'd like to see that.

- Afraid that's not possible. We're playing away.

I don't know where.

Somewhere way out in the boonies.

I didn't know there were games in the afternoon.

No, there usually aren't. They're normally at night.

Something to do with one of the linesmen.

Okay... see you.

Hey, my bag.

You're going the wrong way.

Shitty bike!

You sure nobody's home?

Relax, Bjrn the house is ours.

Sweet, huh?

Look at this.

And there's more.

Let's split.

Relax, Bjrn. We gotta divide up the loot.

We've got over 100 smackers.

Too bad we only found 30.

-30?

That only makes ten each.

What the hell does Mulle need

all that money for anyway?

Is somebody there?

Come on, the coast is clear.

You said nobody was home, man!

How was I to know they came home?

We only got ten each.

Holy cow! Ten whole kroners!

Hello, Bjrn.

What a night owl you are.

So, his lordship made it home.

Bjrn, I'm talking to you.

- What?

- Where have you been?

We were just playing ping pong.

We lost track of the time.

Can I help you?

My lord, are you okay?

No, there must be something wrong with that potato.

Absolutely not.

You mean you can do that with

all sorts of bottles?

Yes, all kinds.

- Well, I'll be darned!

- Here, try it yourself. - No, no, I couldn't.

- Take a look. I can't do that kind of thing.

I'm going to bed now. Good night.

So, that was that.

I think I can say we covered what we were supposed to.

At least, most of us did.

But you should know that next year...

...you'll have to really pull it together,

because the demands will be greater.

- Have a nice vacation!

- You too, sir.

Step right this way. Place your bets.

A winner almost every time.

- Who's that for?

- A grandchild, right? Let's see what you got.

That's really nice,and almost the same color too.

What have you done with Sten?

I didn't think you could live without him.

Play "The Cold Shoulder."

Okay.

And that one.

There you are. Like a glider.

- Gosh!

- A real work of art.

Yes, the law of gravity

has been suspended.

- You used chewing gum.
